Configuring Google Drive for Wharton Public Computers

This article provides information for configuring Google Drives on Wharton's public computers. Kumo is a service that will allow you to map your Google Drive (whether Wharton or personal) for use on the Wharton computers. *Important note: If you are currently using MyWhartonDrive for data storage, please move your file to your Google Drive by the end of the semester.

Mapping your Google drive will allow you to have more access when using the Wharton Workstations and allows you to carry all of your data (downloads, documents, etc.) in one safe space.

Note: If you chose not to map a Google drive you will have reduced functionality on these Computers and will only be able to save your work to an external storage device.

Configuring your Google Drive on Public Computers

Log on to any Wharton public computer. You will see the following prompt. Click Setup

Note: If you click "Not Now" The prompt will disappear and you will be prompted again the next time you log in. If you click "Don't Ask Me Again" you will never be shown the prompt again and would have to visit http://kumo.wharton.upenn.edu to map your drive. If you chose either of these options you will not be able to map your drive in your current session and will need a flash drive to store your work.
